List of Ingredients



• 1 pound butter
  
• 2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped
  
• 2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
  
• 1 each bay leaf, crumbled
  
• salt
  
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
  
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  
• 5 each garlic cloves, minced
  
• 1/2 cup black pepper, finely ground
  
• 4 pounds large raw shrimp in shells
  






Instructions



1. The shrimp should be of a size to number 30 to 35 per pound. Melt the butter in a large deep sided frying pan or iron skillet over low heat. When melted, raise the heat, and add the remaining ingredients except the shrimp.
   
2. Cook, stirring often, until browned to a rich mahogany color, about 10 minutes. Add the shrimp, stirring and turning to coat well with the seasoned butter. Cook until the shrimp have turned a rich deep pink. Serve the shrimp in their shells, peeling them at the table.
